If you want to delete all the files you've backed up using Time Machine, yes you could throw away that folder, and empty the Trash.

Note: this cannot be undone. The past will be lost forever.
 
Yeap,what ziggyonice said. But remember that you can't undo that. With my time capsule,when i deleted a backup folder like yours i asked me my password and then gone. No trash no nothing. It doesn't go to trash. :)
 
well idk what you mean.. if you want to delete the app

you can delete these

com.apple.TimeMachine.plist (/library/pref/)
Time Machine.app
 
I don't know what you're doing that you want to delete your entire time machine backup, but if you're just trying to reclaim a little bit of space, it is possible to delete individual backups from time machine. Just look here.
